Night Fever

Well, it was actually Dance Fever.....and the night of the annual interschool dance challenge.

Dance Fever are a company who go into selected schools over here and teach kids to dance, and I mean proper dance, the jive, the fox trot, the cha cha, the tango etc etc

Each school gets a whole terms worth of teaching, in our case, it's term 3 every year and they learn the steps every Friday afternoon. At the end of the term, the schools whom have been learning that term, come together and have a huge dance off. There were four school competing last night: Imagine 800+ children warming up for the night dancing to the YMCA and the Macarena...it's a pretty awesome sight!!!

It's all done very professionally....boys dancing with girls, the boys wear a number on their backs and escort their young ladies to the floor, arms held high, and get into place following a spin!! It's a lovely 4 hours worth of entertainment and the children all get into 'Dance Fever' mood weeks before, shopping for the perfect outfit to compliment their partners, and of course the right shoes.
